C Correct answer
Explanation

CP of 30 articles = SP of 25 articles. Let CP of each article = Re 1, so CP of 30 = Rs 30. This equals SP of 25 articles, so SP of each = 30/25 = Rs 1.20. Profit per article = Rs 0.20 on CP of Re 1. Profit percent = (Profit/CP) × 100 = (0.20/1) × 100 = 20%. Alternatively: CP of 30 = SP of 25 means SP/CP = 30/25 = 6/5 = 1.2, giving 20% profit directly. Option C is correct.
